I'm concerned about this whole situation.
Fernandes comes out and says players who want to leave, like Barton, should be signed by a new club and we shouldn't have to pay for the move in any way. Isn't this an ideal situation for any selling/relegated club, but it never happens. The VFM players move on and the ones who are too expensive for what they're worth stay and collect their weekly money, unless they are treated badly and a deal can be made because they want out and will take a hit on what their remaining contract is worth.
Harry has no control over the dressing room and doesn't enjoy the job currently, this I know for a fact. He will only succeed if he has the right grafters in and just as importantly, the trouble makers away from the dressing room.
So we have a chairman who wants some of his money back. Quite rightly. We have a manager who wants as long as possible to work with the right squad. Quite rightly. Who and what will crack first? These are why our pre-season will be another nightmare and our chances of a straight return to the PL will be unlikely. This is also why TF talked about a 2 year crack and promotion. He must want Harry but is aware of all these problems. Have I missed anything?
